Article Synopsis
- Bronchodilators (BDs) are essential for COPD treatment, yet their underuse is prevalent in real-life scenarios, as highlighted by the PUMA study across several Latin American countries.
- The study surveyed and conducted spirometry on patients aged 40 or older at risk for COPD, revealing that only about 25% of those diagnosed with COPD used BDs, with short-acting BDs being the most common.
- Having health insurance with medication coverage significantly increased the likelihood of BD use among patients with COPD.
